Through the power of sport our members are transforming the lives of the most disadvantaged people in the UK. Volunteer with Sported, meet the inspirational heroes of grassroots sport and leave a lasting legacy in your community!

We are currently recruiting for 2 types of volunteering roles:

1. Long term Placements
   Our volunteers are carefully matched with a Sported club, who they then support on a one-to-one basis, typically for a period of between three to six months.

   
   



2. Short term support (flexible volunteering)
   Our volunteers provide short-term support by helping Sported groups with specific questions or challenges. The support may take the form of one-off advice or between one to three sessions, which can be delivered via your chosen communication method (e.g. face-to-face, over the phone/Teams/Zoom or email). This option is perfect for those volunteers who may not have the time to commit to an extended mentor placement or may be in between projects.
